The ideal age for LASIK typically falls between 25 and 40 years old, when your vision prescription has stabilized and your eyes are healthy. (1) However, each patient's situation is unique. At Kraff Eye Institute, we evaluate candidates individually, considering factors like prescription stability, corneal thickness, and overall eye health. We've successfully treated patients from Ashburn and across Chicago in their early 20s through their 50s, provided they meet our careful screening criteria.
During your LASIK procedure at our downtown Chicago facility, advanced eye-tracking technology and a gentle eyelid holder prevent blinking from affecting the surgery. The sophisticated VISX laser system tracks your eye movements 4,000 times per second, ensuring precise treatment even with subtle eye movements. You can feel completely at ease knowing that blinking cannot interfere with your procedure's success.
Several factors may affect your candidacy for LASIK surgery. These include unstable vision prescriptions, certain autoimmune conditions, severe dry eye syndrome, or insufficient corneal thickness. During your consultation at our downtown Chicago location, we conduct comprehensive testing to ensure LASIK is safe and appropriate for your eyes. If LASIK isn't suitable, we can discuss alternative vision correction options that might better serve your needs.
